      HMRC seek repayment after Fast Tax Rebates Ltd take most of rebate

      By Schipoo · Posted

      Hi everyone, I have an update on my case that I’d like to share with you all.  so after submitting 371 pages in my bundle, a witness statement and skeleton argument for my court case due to take place in Manchester on June 21st I got an email from my litigator stating that hmrc have pulled out and the case is now closed!    this is the body of the letter….. This letter, which is copied to the Appellant, pursuant to Rule 17 of the Tribunal Procedure (First-tier Tribunal) (Tax Chamber) Rules 2009, the Respondents gives notice to the Tribunal of their intention to not defend the above appeal.   The Respondents respectfully invite the Tribunal to allow the appeal and close its file. In lieu of the above the Respondents would respectfully ask the Tribunal to vacate the hearing scheduled for Friday 21 June 2024. We would accordingly invite the Tribunal to close its file. Obviously this is extremely good news which hasn’t sunk in that after 3 years of fighting it is over.    I do have a further fight on my hands in that the Group Action I had joined with Independent Tax that had been disbanded in November last year and I chose not to continue with them. They are trying to bill me over 5k for the work they did under that Group Action which is ludicrous bearing in mind the whole point in joining was that it would keep the cost to a minimum as it would be shared between us all. They had asked if I wanted to continue to have them represent me on an individual level which I declined, if I hadn’t, goodness knows what they would have been trying to charge me now.

      Should we trust Sunak or the next PM to fix the Country's problems? (title revised 24/10/22)

      By stu007 · Posted

      As PM Sunak really showed his true colours at the D Day Commemorations by doing what? Oh I am the British PM lets just leave early I have better things to do and as he is called out on disrespecting all those veterans that served our country for the freedoms we have today he gives a groveling apology to little to late. He knew about this event for a long time and also knew that this is probably the last D Day Commemoration due to the age of those Veterans who gave so much for there countries freedom. Even on the day of the D Day Commemoration he still could have changed his plans As PM and stayed but choose not to showing such DISRESPECT to those Veterans, those that lost there lives and Families for the Freedoms we have today Being a Veteran myself I have never known a PM to show such disrespect what the hell was he thinking SHAME ON YOU PM SUNAK

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Hi

Now that this is with the courts, she will have to acknowledge it so that Link do not get a judgement in default.

She should acknowledge and tick that she will be defending all (I assume it's a Northampton address)

Once that is done, she will have to get what evidence Link have.

 

I will move this to the legal issues forum as it is now a legal matter

If you are asked to deal with any matter via private message, PLEASE report it.

Everything I say is opinion only. If you are unsure on any comment made, you should see a qualified solicitor

I take it this is a claim pack from Northampton Count Court Bulk Centre, CCs dont't

issue summons'?

We need more detail about the debt and how this has arisen.

1. How old is the dent?

2. When was the last payment or acknowledgment in writting made?

4. What is the debt for?

 

She should send a CCA request immediately.

Then read the guidance notes sent b with the

claim pack.

Please get her to scan and post up a copy of the particulars

of clain (POC) after removing her name and address, and cliam No.

any account or reference numbers and barcodes, leave

in the actual deatails of the POC

Any Letters I Draft are N0T approved by CAG and no personal liability is accepted.

A friend of mine has been chased by Link for a debt she knows nothing about. She returned every letter stating she knows nothing about the debt

 

I imagine the debt has been assigned to Link from another creditor, does she have other debts? You will probably find that one of the letters was a notice of assignment but if they were all returned unread she would not know!

She actually opened each letter and wrote on the back that she knew nothing about the debt.One question should the CCA request be sent with the response to the summons or sent asap?

Apologies, I assumed if they were returned the envelope was simply marked accordingly and the contents unread. Has a notice of assignment been received then?

 

Send the CCA request ASAP.

 

She doesnt recall, but I assume there would have been, will get the CCA request out tomorrow whenI get the details and post up the summons with POC on here as well.Thanks for all your help

You're welcome.

 

Although many people on this forum quite rightly caution against telephoning creditors, I don't think it would hurt if your friend called just to ascertain who the OC is. That may allow your friend to at least identify the debt and work out if it rings a bell.

If she genuinelly has nothing to do with the debt it is possible to get it thrown out at an early stage by means of a summary judgment and/or strike out, this can be rather complex but has the advantage if you win you could claim sunstantial costs (as its pre allocation).

I wouldn't go as far as "substantial" costs, I imagine as a LiP the costs would not even adequately compensate for the time spent. Andydd is right though, your fried could apply to strike out the claim but I think it's worth trying to find out what is going on first. I suspect that Link will produce a notice of assignment which will make it's locus standi clear, your friend would not want to have made an application to strike out only to find that Link *are* entitled to pursue this debt!

 

Obviously be aware of the deadline for filing a defence.

Asking for a copy of an agreement implies you think there is one.

 

To be fair it doesn't. I think it's perfectly legitimate to say "if you think you have an agreement with me, where is it?".

CCA request? Why? Complete waste of time.

 

You need a CPR 31 request, which is your right and costs nothing. Asking for a copy of an agreement implies you think there is one.

 

Not to sure I fully agree there Donkey, CPR can and often is ignored, a section 77/78 can not be and puts the claimant in default, irrespective of whether the debt is legit or not.

I’ll agree to disagree a bit. I think a CCA request issued AFTER enforcement action has started is pointless as a defence – the case law was that an existing CCA request was outstanding when enforcement action began. It should be done before action starts.

 

(You can ask for the agreement in the CPR, providing an agreement is mentioned in the PoC.)

 

They may ignore CPR, but that’s their look out.

 

Was a ‘prove it’ letter sent when the envelopes were returned?

 

Has she checked her credit report?

Points taken Donkey but there is no legislation stating that a request cant be made at any time. Enforcement is only at the conclusion of any trial and anything that can assist, not be used as a defence surely must be fundamental to any defence. If conclusion is negated then the section 77/78 request was invaluable and a right of any defendant.

 

The sanction under the Act for non-compliance with an information request is unenforceability of the credit or hire agreement for so long as the creditor or owner fails to comply with his duty.

 

Where there is such a failure, the courts have no discretion to allow enforcement.

 

 

Regards

Of course a CCA request can be made at any time. The sanction though would be the same as a properly conducted CPR request! Many judges will pass judgment without EITHER being complied with, sadly, irrespective of having ‘no discretion’.

 

The sanction is not under the act, is it? – it’s case law.

A section 77/78 request is far more useful to any defence. CPR 31 means not a jot as most will cry " SCT " or standard disclosure, by that time the application for summary judgment is winging its way to the claim.I would rather be in a position to state they are in default of a section 77/78 rather than a " they ignored my CPR request ".

Where an agreement exists, yes, I agree. But, as you say, horses for courses – the OP has stated his friend knows nothing about the debt, so there cannot be an agreement. It’s obtuse to claim on the one hand that there is no agreement, and then ask for a copy of it! I’ve heard of a judge pulling a defendant up (excuse the pun) on this very contradiction.

 

The correct defence, surely, is that the account is not hers.

 

If it transpires it IS her account, then that’s another race altogether.

The correct defence, surely, is that the account is not hers. Absolutely and no CCA request should be made

 

If it transpires it IS her account, then that’s another race altogether. One for the OP,but it could be possible Plink have actually got something correct

Plink, get something right? Nah...

 

Another thing... there’s an assumption that this is a loan/credit agreement that would make a CCA request possible. It may not be. Hence CPR to try and wheedle out what they intend to rely on in court. Will be interesting to see the PoC.

 

My main concern is that we don’t automatically shout ‘CCA request’ in every case without considering the facts (as used to happen on CAG, and lots of people got screwed over by thinking it was the DCA-killer). Even if a CCA request is sent, they may well come up with an agreement, so it isn’t actually part of a defence yet. Hence my caution.

Well if its not a loan or a CC or HP then its unregulated, and a very small amount and most definitely SCT, which as you know CPR 31 is not applicable.Lets wait for the P.o.C.!!
